About this item

memoir, life in Italy, grief and healing, women’s memoir, expat life, Irish humor, found family, starting again, loss and love, Italy memoir Rosie is facing the ultimate ‘empty mansion syndrome’ in her 22-roomed Italian villa. With both her kids now living in different countries and the funds to finish renovations going AWOL, Rosie is starting to suspect that the Sighing House might be a tad too big for just her and hubby Ronan. To make matters worse, with Ronan’s pending criminal court case—following his encounters with a toupee rat pack and the anti-Mafia special police squad—Rosie may soon be the only resident in the house. As her life spins at a speed faster than a Ferrari on an Italian motorway–while dealing with grief for her Dad, her brother’s cancer diagnosis, her mother’s unexpected return and health scares galore, Rosie discovers that the festoons of red tape while trying to get into the Italian health system, is like untangling cooked spaghetti. To regain some semblance of control, Rosie throws herself into renovating the villa’s garden, but no amount of ivy whacking, weed pulling, lavender planting can stop the feeling that the house is sighing with emptiness, and Rosie can’t stave off the strong urge to escape from her safe haven and her downward spiralling life. With the Sighing House on the brink of being put on the market, can Rosie find a purpose for the villa and salvage her crumbling dream life in Italy? With more comical misadventures and unexpected revelations, get ready to laugh, cry (a lot), and maybe even dream of owning your Italian villa in this fifth instalment of A Rosie Life In Italy. Perfect for readers who love: humorous memoir immigrant life in Italy cosy, character-driven nonfiction Irish wit with emotional depth books that feel like coming home
